Eko Power has outperformed IE Energy in meeting minimum electricity supply requirements across Lagos feeders for the month of August, 2026.
Data from the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission (LASERC) shows that 62 per cent of Eko Power’s assessed feeders met their targets compared with IE Energy’s 50 per cent.
The figures reflect that Eko Power had a 12 percentage-point advantage over IE Energy in overall feeder compliance during the month.
LASERC assessed 421 Eko Power feeders and found that 261 met the minimum supply requirement applicable to their service bands.
For IE Energy, 180 of the 362 assessed feeders met their respective minimum supply requirements.
The performance, however, varied significantly across the five service bands, with both utilities recording their strongest compliance in Band A and substantially weaker performance in Bands B to E.
Under the service-based tariff framework, Band A feeders are required to deliver a minimum of 20 hours of electricity daily, while the minimums are 16 hours for Band B, 12 hours for Band C, eight hours for Band D and four hours for Band E.
Eko Power recorded its strongest performance in Band A, where 201 of its 247 feeders met the required minimum, representing 81 per cent compliance.
IE Energy recorded 113 compliant feeders out of 165 in Band A, giving it a 68 per cent compliance rate.
The gap widened in some of the lower bands, although neither utility maintained the level of compliance recorded in Band A.
Eko Power’s Band B compliance fell to 36 per cent, with only 36 of 100 feeders meeting the required standard. Its Band C compliance was 31 per cent, with 13 of 42 feeders meeting target.
The utility recorded 38 per cent compliance in Band D, with six of 16 feeders meeting the minimum, while only five of 16 Band E feeders met the requirement, representing 31 per cent compliance.
IE Energy recorded 33 per cent compliance in Band B, with 26 of 79 feeders meeting the target.
Its Band C compliance was lower at 27 per cent, with 20 of 73 feeders meeting the minimum requirement.
Band D was IE Energy’s strongest-performing category after Band A, with 19 of 39 feeders meeting the requirement, representing 49 per cent compliance.
Only two of its six Band E feeders met the minimum requirement, giving the category a 33 per cent compliance rate.
The August figures show a sharp difference between the utilities’ performance in the premium Band A category and their performance across the lower service bands.
For Eko Power, the compliance rate dropped from 81 per cent in Band A to 36 per cent in Band B.
IE Energy recorded a similar decline, from 68 per cent compliance in Band A to 33 per cent in Band B.
Despite the weaker performance across the lower bands, Eko Power maintained the higher overall compliance rate because of its stronger performance across the feeder base, particularly in Band A.
The data also provides a regulatory measure of how consistently the two utilities delivered the service levels associated with each feeder’s classification.
The service-based tariff system links electricity tariffs to minimum daily supply commitments, with higher bands requiring longer supply hours. LASERC has said its regulatory framework is focused on making electricity operators accountable for the service delivered to consumers.
The August assessment suggests that while a majority of Eko Power’s assessed feeders met their applicable minimums, half of IE Energy’s assessed feeders and sizeable proportions of both utilities’ lower-band feeders fell short of their required supply levels.
